I am so excited

Folks I have some exciting news to share. Let me preface this by saying it is going to be a long story, :0) When I was little girl we traveled to Mexico quite a bit. It is given that my hertiage is Mexican. Anyways, the first trip that I remember when was I was in elementary school. On this trip we visited the pyramids. Wow what a sight. I remember the size and beauty of the pyramids. I remember that the top of the pyramid for the God of the sun was very hot. Where as the top of the pyramid for the God of the Moon was cold. But what I remember about the trip was the poverty. I remember children younger than me running with us trying to sell things to us. I remember they offered to carry my mom's backpack up the pyramid for a little coin. My eyes were awaken that trip. I was awaken to the vastness of poverty. I was awaken to the goodness of people. That same trip I got separated from my family (if you ask my mom she says I got lost) in a small village market. I was enthralled with this lovely women who was performing a puppet show. I sat down on the mud floor with her children to help them eat while watching the show. My mom and dad found me a little while later with their hearts in their throats. Anyways, the trip for me was not about the pyramids, it was about the goodness of people and how extreme the poverty was. Ever since this trip I have felt called to do something about poverty. Now the opportunity has arisen. As you can see on the upper right hand of my blog is a link to Red Letters Campaign.
